ELIXIR is currently developing it’s Scientific Programme for 2024-2028. This high-level workshop takes place at The Hotel in Brussels and will bring together senior representatives from different research communities to give their perspective on the future.

A series of short presentations (10 minutes) from our high-level panelists will give context and inspiration to round-table discussions between the all the workshop participants - each table will then make some recommendations at the end of the debate.
